What’s new on Netflix, CraveTV in October

A monthly look at what’s scheduled to be added to the catalogues of streaming services Netflix Canada and CraveTV in October:

TOP PICKS

Supernatural pop culture sensation “Stranger Things” returns to the Upside Down with a second season Oct. 27 on Netflix. While the storylines have been shrouded in secrecy, the show’s creators have confirmed the plot picks up a year after Will disappeared from his Indiana home. Will the Demogorgon be back? Has Eleven found stability despite her psychokinetic abilities? Whatever happens, it’s certain that life won’t be back to normal.

Two of music’s legendary stars land on Crave TV with documentaries. “Sign O’ the Times” is Prince’s 1987 concert film that includes performances of “Little Red Corvette,” “U Got the Look” and a rollicking Sheila E. drum solo. Meanwhile, Meat Loaf fans warming up for Toronto’s stage debut of “Bat Out of Hell: The Musical” in October can journey back to its origin story with “Meat Loaf: In and Out of Hell,” a glimpse of the singer’s life through candid interviews with friends and family.

With the highly-anticipated “Blade Runner” sequel hitting theatres in early October, it’s worth noting that viewers who plan to recap the 1982 original have until Oct. 23 when it leaves Crave TV for good.

Here are the lists of movies and TV shows expected this month. Release dates are subject to change.
